Summary
Farmington Elementary is a small K–5 school in Farmington, California, in Escalon Unified, serving 95 students. Its 2025–2026 results show a sharp grade-level split: third graders did well, while fourth- and fifth-grade results were weaker. The clearest schoolwide concern is science: 17% of students were proficient, 19 percentage points below the state and 19 points below the average at nearby K–5 schools.
Compared with the state and district, math is Farmington’s strongest all-grade subject: 36% were proficient, just 2 points below the state and 3 points above the district. ELA proficiency was also 36%, 13 points below the state and 6 below the district; science was 17%, 14 points below the district. Against nearby K–5 schools, Farmington fell short of average results by 6 points in ELA, 5 in math and 19 in science. Third grade stands out: 71% were proficient in math, the highest among the four nearby K–5 schools, compared with 68% at Van Allen Elementary, 60% at Dent Elementary and 28% at Collegeville Elementary. By contrast, Farmington had the lowest fourth-grade ELA and math results among those schools, and fifth-grade results were below all three peers in both subjects.
Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 10 percentage points, math 23 and science 8, though science remains far behind the state. SchoolDigger placed Farmington at the 39th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 14th percentile in 2022–2023; the district was at the 55th percentile with 3 stars. Farmington’s student-teacher ratio was 15.8 in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among nearby schools with data. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 11% and the state’s 18%. The school reported 75% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, fifth-highest among 10 nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s Hispanic-student statewide percentile rose from 8 in 2023–2024 to 66 in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 39th percentile that latest year—a notable difference in how well the school serves this group. Because enrollment is small, grade-level percentages may shift with results from relatively few students.
